Bed light wiring

swavet22 · Apr 8, 2015

I'm installing led bed lights and I want to wire them into the button already in place for the bed light. My question is does anyone know what wires from the switch are the ones for the bed light?

I'm guessing by bed light you mean cargo light? If so then the wire you are looking for is the white/tan wire. I tapped into this wire under the door sill on the front driver's side. You can also tap into the cargo wire on the trailer wiring harness (which is a much easier option).

Will this work if I use the button on the dash to turn on the cargo light?

Yes if you tap into the cargo light wire (white/tan) then they will come on whenever the cargo light comes on (i.e. button on dash or when you press unlock on the key fob). I'm almost positive that if you tap into the cargo light wire on the trailer harness then it will have the same effect but I'm not absolutely sure as I do not have mine wired that way.

Ok thanks I will have to find this wire. I already have the wire ran up to the kick panel so it won't be hard to tap in know. How are your lights wired in?

I just used 18-22 gauge quick splice connectors. I've always preferred quick splices because you can easily remove them without harming the stock wire.

Thanks for the help. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone.
